We all know that acceleration races reveal little about the actual performance of the car on the road, let alone the circuit. Still, some useful info can be gained, and we enjoyed watching this Mercedes-AMG C43 tackle a BMW M340i on a quarter-mile strip.
Neither car is stock, and both churn out around 400 PS (394 hp / 294 kW) thanks to aftermarket mods. We do not have any specifics to share with you, but the host reveals both cars run on automatic and have AWD. If we were to split hairs, we would bring up that the Bavarian sedan has an inline-six mill and its Stuttgart rival has a V6 that makes it marginally lighter.
But that’s about it. The odds are very close. Which one do you think wins?
